# Connecting Statement: Paul explains that he did not learn the gospel from others; he learned it from Jesus Christ. # brothers See how you translated this in [Galatians 1:2](../01/02.md). # is not man's gospel By using this phrase, Paul was not trying to say that Jesus Christ is not himself human. Because Christ is both man and God, however, he is not a sinful human being. Paul is writing about where the gospel came from; it did not come from sinful human beings, but it came from Jesus Christ.
